Update (1.1)
Version 1.1 fixes the broken damage resistance function for the third rank. I accidentally left the "Add Value" function instead of using "Multiply Value". This oversight made the player take more damage instead of mitigating it. Just replace the old .esp with the new one and overwrite when prompted.
Mod Description
This mod changes the perk bonuses as follows:
Rank 1 - increased carry weight by 50; 10% damage resistance; 10% bonus damage
Rank 2 - increased carry weight by 100; 20% damage resistance; 20% bonus damage
Rank 3 - increased carry weight by 150; 30% damage resistance; 30% bonus damage
Basically, each perk rank increases damage resistance and damage bonus by 10%, and carry weight by 50. I did this because players have to sacrifice additional firepower until level 40 to get the 25% damage bonus with the way the perk normally works. The total carry weight bonus has been changed to 150 because companions can carry more than 100 pounds (which left "lone wanderers" at a disadvantage). The total damage bonus has been changed to 30% (instead of 25%) to keep the progression linear using rounded values.
The mod was created using FO4EDIT. It shouldn't negatively affect your save files in any way, but back them up just in case.
Possible Conflicts
As long as you're not using mods that change the Lone Wanderer perk, you should be fine.
Possible Issues (IMPORTANT)
If you notice that the mod doesn't add the "carry weight" bonus properly, remove the existing perk ranks via console (player.removeperk), then add them again (player.addperk). This only happens if you already had one or multiple Lone Wanderer perk ranks before activating this mod. For some reason, the conditions for AbFortifyCarryWeight "Fortify Carry Weight" [MGEF:0004B24F] don't apply properly in this case (although they're perfectly fine). I tested it on a new character, and it works great.
The problem only applies to "carry weight", and it only affects characters after taking Rank 3. With the console commands, the problem can be fixed in under a minute (don't worry, it won't disable achievements). I apologize for the inconvenience, but I have no idea what might be causing the problem (although I suspect the very early release of FO4EDIT).

Make sure to remove and add them in the correct order. Basically, remove Rank 3, then Rank 2, then Rank 1. Add Rank 1, then Rank 2, then Rank 3.
001D246e - rank 3
001D246d - rank 2
001D246b - rank 1
Again, this problem won't affect you if you're playing a new character or if you haven't taken any Lone Wanderer perks before installing this mod.
Installation
Plop the .esp file into Fallout 4 - Data folder, and add LW Rebalance.esp to the Plugins.txt file. If you don't know how to install mods already, you shouldn't be messing with .esp files anyway.
